TUc Saultr.ry Condition of our Cliy. Of all subjects that enlist and interest the public mmd — all motives that exist to stimulate men into the exercise of . a general caution, no one can claim ascendancy over • the one with which we head our leading ar- j tide of to-day. The main object of life is the pursuit of happiness, but without health no such thing | as happiness from the enjoyments of earth \ car. be realised. It matters not what is the prosperity in the pursuit of wealth, what is j the position achieved in society, or how extensively a man may be surrounded by friends, still without health nothing can possibly effect his happiness. The elements i of those enjoyments so universally desired ; cannot be so combined as to dissipate the i racking pains and torturing anxieties of sick- ' ness. But whilst this is a mere truism, known to ' all and admitted by all, yet it is lamentably j an almost universal fault, that men take less pains to preserve and perpetuate health than I th...

Gcuciul Suinmr.rj-. A review of the events and changes which &amp;lt; have taken place sinco our last issue of a j steamer sheet, does not disclose any very important or striking modification of the condition of things then existing. The interests of agriculture are so much enhanced as to inspire our fanners with the most agreeable anticipations. We have bad a succession of rainy days anil spring show- i era, that have been all that could have been &amp;lt; asked by tillers of the soil. The various running streams have been so high from the rains and melting snows, that miners have not been aide to pursue their operations with very great results in the j digging-. From some of the ravine or dry diggings, we are continually receiving favorable reports. Quartz rock mining is the J prevailing source of speculation at the pre- i sent time ; and the discoveries in these gold , ledges by blasting, are perhaps destined to ; cause no &amp;gt;mall degree of excitement at some ! f...

TO THE PUBLIC. Within the l i .- 1 week the undersigned has observed several articles in the I'laccr Times, reflecting un the management of the Post Office in this city. • As long a.-&amp;gt; the remarks of the Editors of that paper alone were published, the subject received no attention at my hands, considering the source from which they emanated, as being utterly beyond the notice of a "gentleman, even though acting as ■ public officer. The character of the Senior Editor has followed him across the Plain?, and even the pure air through which he passed, has failed to remove the blots on his private character; and the distance which exists between him and the scenes of his early operations, has not proved great enough to hide his enormous .-ins. But a communication supposed to have been written by one unconnected with that journal, signed '•iUchilcau," demands an answer at my hand-*. — Statements are therein made, at entire variance with truth, and whether made through ignorance...
